Yes, points difference is carried over.

Why should it not? We have a top 4 play-off in the end, so it's only right that the league standings should be a little unbalanced.

How? The title is still only won in the last game of the season. There are two other places for the Top 4?

And there has to be a point in RL, where we reward the best teams, with the implication to others: improve, get better. Rather than dumbing down and dragging down teams that actually perform week in, week out.

How much advantage do you want?

You've already played the S.L. whipping boys three times, I bet Hull KR would have loved the two league points gifted to them at Newcastle.

Btw it's unfair to put Salford in the same bracket as Wakefield.

Everything is carried over to the super 8s. If Cas beat Wire next week and Huddersield win. The top 5 will be 6 points clear of the chasing pack entering the super 8s. Meaning 6th, 7th and 8th Will have nothing to play for basically apart from pride. It will all come down to Wigan, huddersield and Cas to fight out the final 2 top 4 spots.

I'd love it if that was the case.

But the Grand Final is an institution now, and brings money and exposure that wouldn't occur under FPTP.
